Police in Indiana have arrested a woman for her alleged role in the overdose death of a 39-year-old man whose body was found inside a tanning bed three days after he entered a Planet Fitness gym.

The Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department (IMPD) said in a news release that Heather Bradford, 41, was arrested and charged with dealing a controlled substance resulting in death, narcotics possession and for having two active warrants in Morgan County, Indiana.

Police responded to Planet Fitness just before 8:30 a.m. Nov. 11 after receiving a report that a body had been discovered in the gym.

The Marion County Coroner’s Office identified the man as Derek Sink. According to police records obtained by 13 News, Sink’s family last had contact with him Nov. 8 and reported him missing Nov. 10.
